Otters' winger Tom Bonnell was chosen as the Folly Farm player of the month by the team management and he was presented with the splendid trophy by Mr. Glyn Williams, of Folly Farm, Begelly, after the home match against Carmarthen Athletic.

Prior to the presentation, backs coach Clive James explained the reasons for the choice by saying: "Tom Bonnell has put in consistent performances during the month in both defence and attack. He has taken his tries well and has displayed enthusiasm on the field.

"During a month where there have been a number of indifferent performances, Tom has stood out head and shoulders above other squad members. He runs with pace, passion and commitment and does not shy away from the physical side of the game.

"Last week against Corus he took the ball on with Corus forwards around him and he's bouncing at the moment and really has nailed his position in the team.

"He attends training regularly and shows the same enthusiasm as he does on the field when playing in training sessions.

"He's a good team player and he showed his character last week when the Corus winger was put away. Tom turned and chased the winger over 60 yards to tackle him and prevent a try. He is an excellent team player."
